chuck alternatives
title says it all, my current pair of 70s are too big because I didn't know how to size them back then. Not urgent, so I can wait for restocks, things to go on sale, etc. Budget <$150. Only requirements are a black/white toe cap colorway. I've narrowed it down to a couple options, but curious what other people think!

summer suit
I have a wedding to attend this summer and I'm thinking my only suit will run too hot.
I found this beautiful listing that a.) sold and b.) would've also been too hot. Anything similar, soft, warm vibes? I know linen is the go to in summer, but I want something more buttery and less crinkly if that makes any sense. I could stretch my budget to $300 tops.

hemming selvedge jeans
Hey y'all, I've never gotten jeans hemmed before. I'm aware I'd have to get them chainstiched to preserve the selvedge, but idk if i need that for what I'm looking for.
Main thing I want is a plain hem/no cuff that I can still let out of I want to. Is there any way to do this?

punk inspo
hi guys, I've been feeling 70s/80s punk music recently and was wondering if there were any resources I could learn more about those eras. Something like take ivy or ametora would be sick, or ig accounts, really any media would be great. Thanks!

sneakers for work
Hi guys, my current work shoes (stan smiths) are finally giving up, so I'm looking for a new pairs.
I'm looking for something comfy for long shifts on my feet, can take dirt well (easy to clean or looks good distressed), and that I can wear outside of work. Grippy soles would be a plus since the floors can get very slippery, but doesn't need to be heavy duty with steel toes or anything.
Looking at xt6's rn, but open to recommendations for cheaper options, like under $160. Always open to secondhand.

looking for a new suit
My only suit right now is a black Bar 3 from high school, which is fine but I feel like upgrading. I'm looking for a roomier suit and trousers with at least an 11" rise; I have one of Shrimp's old fit pics saved (I'll add if he's cool with it) and it's exactly what I'm going for. My field isn't stuffy so I can be on the casual side. My budget is $300-$500 secondhand.
My backup option is this Spier suit, but I'd prefer something a little less slim with a higher rise. (https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/medium-gray--10005-0012-nsnt-01-ss23)
I also love grey herringbone, something like this: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.etsystatic.com%2F14212284%2Fr%2Fil%2F270599%2F1717043958%2Fil_fullxfull.1717043958_quhp.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=0e39bb5e9ce974d5b7950c0730e3f68bbe9a003b74da33bd7ed7916afd2d49d0&ipo=images

Plisse sizing
I found some good deals on jf150s and I'm curious about sizing. I've heard the size doesn't matter because the measurements barely change and they have elastic waistbands. Any thoughts?

the last conspiracy
Does anyone have experience with this brand? Found it through MFA years ago but haven't heard much since. I found a couple pairs cheap and am curious about sizing, but for the price I might just bite the bullet

yohji and issey
I'm interested in getting some pieces from these two, but they both have so many labels and lines I'm a little lost. Is there a place I can learn about the different labels, or would someone be willing to break it down here? Thanks so much!
